Douluo: Bone Dragon Undead Calamity

"Who are you?!!!"

Seeing his full-powered strike being effortlessly blocked by the person before him, Chen Xin suppressed the fear in his heart and forcefully demanded with a calm tone.

"Me? Hmph, ignorant humans. It seems that our long disappearance and slumber have made you forget the fear you once held."

Di Tian, who had been slumbering in the Lake of Life, had been awakened by the commotion caused by the battle near the lake. If not for that, he might have slept for several more millennia.

Now that he had awakened early, he had to admit, he owed these people some gratitude.

"Leave! Considering this is your first offense, I won't kill you!"

In truth, Di Tian didn't want to risk alerting the Gods above by taking action himself.

Because from Gu Rong, he had sensed a trace of a unique divine aura.

And the source of that special aura was none other than Electrolux!

Although Electrolux had never revealed himself near Gu Rong, due to Gu Rong's frequent interactions with Gu Feng, he had unknowingly been tainted with a trace of that aura.

And it was precisely this trace of aura that Di Tian feared.

He was afraid that this unknown divine aura belonged to a major God under the God of Asura.

Even if there was only the slightest possibility.

For the sake of the revival of the Soul Beast race, Di Tian dared not gamble.

Upon hearing Di Tian's merciless order to leave, the expressions of the group instantly turned extremely grim, as if shrouded by dark clouds, so gloomy that it seemed water could drip from their faces.

They clenched their teeth, their throats seemingly blocked. Though filled with unwillingness, they dared not utter a single word of defiance.

After all, Chen Xin, the strongest among them, had his full-powered strike effortlessly blocked by this mysterious powerhouse.

Such a vast disparity in strength made them clearly realize that any resistance would be futile. The opponent's strength was unfathomable, like an endless abyss, terrifying beyond imagination.

Yet, to give up on the Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Beast that was right before their eyes was something they couldn't easily accept.

Just as the group was at an impasse.

Ning Fengzhi clasped his fists, his face showing a hint of hesitation, and spoke up with difficulty, "Esteemed senior, I wonder if you are also here to compete for these Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Beasts."

"If that is the case, could you perhaps show some leniency and leave one for us? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would surely remember your great kindness, and in the future, if you have any need, we will spare no effort to assist you!"

As he spoke, a glimmer of hope flickered in his eyes.

Clearly, he still wanted to make one last attempt.

After all, this was the ultimate treasure for Soul Masters, something countless Soul Masters dreamed of—a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring and Soul Bone!

"Roar!!!"

Hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape, who had been holding back, let out an earth-shaking roar, the sound waves rolling like they could shatter the surrounding air.

It simply couldn't understand how these insignificant humans dared to make such a bold request even after a powerhouse of the Soul Beast race had appeared. It was as if they had a death wish.

Xiao Wu also gritted her teeth in anger, her delicate face slightly flushed with rage. She looked at Di Tian, her tone carrying a hint of annoyance, "Senior, you mustn't listen to him! You are one of our Soul Beast race. My mother was also a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Beast. We should be under your protection!"

In her heart, Xiao Wu believed that Di Tian, as a powerful figure among the Soul Beasts, should naturally stand on their side.

However, Di Tian merely let out a cold snort, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Soul Beasts? You've both transformed into humans, yet you still dare to call yourselves Soul Beasts?"

This Di Tian was not the same as the one who would undergo a change of heart ten thousand years later. At this moment, he harbored an intense loathing for anything related to gods, especially the preferential treatment gods gave to humans.

Xiao Wu, still unwilling to give up, pleaded urgently, "Senior, although my mother and I have transformed, deep down, we are still Soul Beasts. That has never changed."

Her eyes were filled with earnestness, hoping that Di Tian would understand their stance.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian let out a mocking laugh. "Hah—"

In his view, the actions of this mother and daughter were utterly despicable. They had transformed into humans yet still sought to exploit the resources of the Soul Beasts. Such hypocritical behavior was intolerable to him.

Most Soul Beasts, upon breaking through the hundred-thousand-year mark, chose to become Beast Kings, guarding their territories and giving back to the Star Dou Great Forest. This was why the Star Dou Great Forest always had a steady stream of Soul Beasts growing stronger. Without the protection of powerful Beast Kings, the weaker Soul Beasts would have long been slaughtered by humans.

Yet, this mother and daughter had not only betrayed the Soul Beasts by choosing to transform into humans, but now they also sought to leverage their former identity as Soul Beasts to gain preferential treatment from Di Tian. Such selfishness was beyond contempt.

Di Tian's gaze was as cold as frost, his eyes piercing as he stared at Xiao Wu and her mother, as if he were looking at two lifeless corpses.

Then, his thin lips parted, and the words that came out seemed to carry the icy winds of winter, instantly plunging Xiao Wu into a freezing abyss, her entire body chilled to the bone.

"Hmph, humans, I don't care how you deal with these two, but I advise you not to make too much of a commotion. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind casually crushing a few ants!"

These words fell upon the ears of Ning Fengzhi and the others, who were first stunned, then overjoyed. Who would have thought that this unfathomably powerful figure would be so accommodating?

Ning Fengzhi, his face beaming with a smile, quickly said, "Thank you, Senior! If you ever have any requests in the future, please feel free to come to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We will treat you with the utmost respect and never dare to show the slightest neglect!"

Di Tian remained expressionless, silently committing the name "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School" to memory. Then he turned and walked steadily toward the Lake of Life.

As Di Tian gradually disappeared into the distance, the last flicker of hope in Xiao Wu's heart was extinguished. Despair and anger surged like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelming her.

Driven by her emotions, she shouted at Di Tian's retreating figure, "You scoundrel! You don't deserve to be a leader of the Soul Beasts! You've forgotten your bloodline, forgotten the dignity of the Soul Beasts!"

"What did you say?!!"

Di Tian abruptly turned around, his movement so swift that it stirred a gust of wind. His calm eyes locked onto Xiao Wu with an intense gaze.

Though his expression remained neutral, anyone could see that he was suppressing his anger.

Sky Blue Bull Python reacted instantly, swiftly positioning himself like a black barrier in front of Xiao Wu, shielding her from Di Tian's wrath.

It lowered its head, its posture extremely humble, and its voice filled with fear and flattery as it said, "Esteemed senior, Xiao Wu was speaking nonsense. She is young and ignorant. Please, with your magnanimity, do not take her words to heart."

As it spoke, its body trembled slightly, clearly filled with fear towards Di Tian.

Among those present, it was the only Soul Beast with dragon lineage, and it was also the one who understood best just how noble Di Tian's bloodline truly was.

Even the faintest trace

of Dragon Might that Di Tian had inadvertently exuded moments ago was enough to make it shudder.
